4.5 stars — This was one of those ones that thoroughly entertained me, and as I wrote out my review, I just liked more. That’s actually kind of rare for me. I was surprised that it was just a male narrator for both POVs, but Mr. Paige did a great job — consistent voices, emotion, […]
4.5 stars — I was sucked into this book almost immediately from the start. The concept was so unique, the details were superb, and the attention paid to Fennel’s sightlessness made me feel sightless myself. And I genuinely think that a great book was made even more spectacular by listening to it. Emily Woo Zeller […]
DNF @ 14% — I really really wanted to love this book, what with its double whammy of diversity. I rarely find religious diversity books, so I was super excited! But. *sigh* I had a hard time getting sucked into this one. The writing was okay, but I wasn’t connecting with Gaby (or her friend), […]
4.5 stars — This was the kind of book that gave me tummy tingles from nerves and anxiety and had me growling in frustration and racing to the bathroom yelling “Dammit, I have to pee!” to my husband because my bladder interrupted my reading time. I think that speaks for itself. 😛 I loved Harper. […]
4.5 stars — I’ve been wanting to read this one since last Christmas, and I loved the blend of holiday, romance and suspense! This was my first time listening to Vivienne Leheny, and she was solid. She had a great emotional range, and her voices were consistent. I didn’t even mind that she narrated both […]
3.5 stars — OK, I’m going to start by saying that when I started this book I was super confused and lost. I honestly thought perhaps I had missed a previous book with our two MCs (Sam and Peck), because it felt like I was expected to know stuff about their relationship up to this […]
4 stars — Parts of this book were total 5 stars, I was so dug in and invested I had swooping tummy syndrome. But other parts dragged and felt repetitive. The pacing just wasn’t consistent. I also believe that the book needed another editing pass (at minimum line/copy editing). Jojo was hard to picture sometimes, b/c she came […]
4 stars — I really enjoyed both Mr. Brinkley and Ms. Buhr as narrators. I will admit that with the accents, it was the first time I had to slow down the narration instead of speed it up. And also, not the greatest choice for road trips, b/c Mr. Brinkley in particular has a lot […]
4.5 stars — This was a delight from start to finish. It was so easy to fall in love with ALL OF THE CHARACTERS in this book, most especially Shane and Gabriel. They both had such interesting struggles to work through in their pasts. I love how these traumas affected who they are now, but it […]
4.5 stars — I had a few hiccups with this book (which was not helped by my reading of it being broken up during travel/vacation), but despite those hiccups I still really enjoyed myself! It was steamy, it was funny, it was heartfelt and made me cry…so I’m giving it an extra half a star […]
